Yes this is The South Carolina Witness
Not sure what that title is all about though, it makes it sound like they paid a settlement for Trump, when the body of the text doesn't claim that.
What it should say is 'Epstein’s estate paid a settlement to a person who also accused Trump'
It also goes on about the fund, but court records show she was ineligible for the compensation program, her attorney told The Post and Courier that she got a settlement directly from Epstein’s estate.
Lol, exactly. The Epstein estate paid this victim because Epstein abused her. Trump was secondary to that, incidental even.
I wrote a big long comment about this in a related thread, but this, what you said, is the heart of it.
The Epstein estate didn't pay this victim for Trump, or on Trump's behalf. The Epstein estate paid her because Epstein was a pedophile child-raper with his own liability to the victim, and because paying her was easier and less expensive for the estate and all involved than not paying her and possibly having her sue in the future with more/better evidence.
The only question is are newsweek incompetent or malicious - publishing that title and letting it stay up? I can't figure out what the hell they meant by it, just seems straight up wrong.
You're right. Its the suggestion of guilt by association, for clicks and views.
I mean it's a fair suggestion, multiple Epstein victims making allegations against Trump aint coincdence. The title is just straight up misinformation though - implying the estate paid the victim a settlement for Trump. Or is that what you mean, they're assuming that's what it was for because he's guilty?
No, apologies for being unclear. I'm trying to say that the title was written that way to create the suggestion of guilt by association in the eyes of anyone who is just skimming past.
I should add that I've spent a lot of time on the DoJ site, and I think they are BOTH guilty of a great deal more than anything the media has reported.
Fuck sake just giving maga more ammo to smear the media as untrustworthy.
If youve discovered anything I’ve not covered on Trump let me know and I’ll add it to the trumpfilesindex!
thank you kind internet stranger for clearing that up! i was thinking that sounded a little too wild to be true
